Neutrinos To Jupiter

Poul Anderson takes a page to tell us how Mark Fraser on Ganymede speaks with Theor on Jupiter so we should take note of the details. Jupiter has:

an enormous magnetic field;
storms of charge and synchrotron radiation;
surging atomic debris;
thunderstorms larger than Earth;
two and a half Terrestrial gavities;
pressure greater than in the Minanao Deep;
two million billion billion tons of ice, metal and solid hydrogen.

No maser beam, however tight or hard-driven, would be able to penetrate the storms of charge and synchrotron radiation. However, Fraser uses neutrinos which pass between and through atoms.

It will soon be visiting time at the Infirmary so further details will have to wait until another post.
